Reading Assessment
Your kiddo will be tested to find out their reading level and will be placed in a reading group accordingly. During these guided reading groups, your kiddo will work on reading strategies in books that are at their instructional level. Each week your child will bring home the book they have been practicing in class. They will need to read it with you, have you sign their sheet, and then send it back the following day. This helps the kids to be excited and proud about what they are learning in reading and helps build their fluency. Please let me or Mrs. Baker know if you have any questions!

Fall Wonder Table
A letter was sent home this week requesting fall items to place on our Wonder Table.  These can be pumpkins, gourds, fall leaves, etc. These items will help us learn about observing, asking questions, and investigating answers.
